Maybe Euphorbia griffithii Fireglow. https://www.google.co.uk/search?sugexp=chrome,mod%3D4&q=euphorbia+griffithii+fireglow&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=q3HDT8HVF87Y8QO52cjDCg&biw=1280&bih=647&sei=rHHDT-vxNsa68gOS5sjlCg

  Reply | Contact  I've got this euphorbia. It took a while to get going, but is now maginificent and I've divided it to make more plants. Maybe yours just needs more time to get going? I don't do a lot to mine, other than stop other things covering it and cutting down dead stems. Don't be too quick to cut it down after flowering as often the leaves get good autumn colour. The sap can be an irritant, so if you do cut any stems before it dies off at the end of the year, either wear gloves or was your hands and arms afterwards. http://patsysplot.blogspot.co.uk/
